Just a random thought that I never saw anyone wearing those gold Trump sneakers. Are people still waiting for them to show up? Or did they just fall apart immediately?

Final award! Book of the Year presented by Nellie Kurtzman! It goes to Beneath the Tree where Nobody Sees. This announce is met by cheers and the closest thing to a standing ovation of the night. And Horvath is on hand to accept! "It's insane how awesome IDW's support for this book has been." #nycc

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Did a single member of the press push back on this, or did they all just stand there and act like it was normal?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

When did the GOP decide that George Soros is the one paying protestors? It's been going on for ages now, but I have no idea how this bullshit started in the first place.
